Studio Tour-

Invitation (to the Chthonian World)

Striking parallels to this fatal romance appear in several cultures,
from the story of the sphinx, the sirens, the mermaids, the Gorgons,
even the princess and the frog. The man is enticed into entering a
terrestrial sphere, where he achieves enlightenment,
discovers new life, and wins the power to overcome death. The Egyptian
temple reiterates
this fatal romance pattern exactly. Although western
culture
celebrates and repeats these stories, we have forgotten
their
significance—the
beguiling value of death and mortality.
